foreign key constraint

Hello,

we're using InnoDB. After defining a table with "ON UPDATE CASCADE"
and _without_ "ON DELETE" constraint, we deleted an entry in the
parent table. The referenced tuple in the child table was deleted as
well.

Can anyone tell us why and if this behaviour is sql standard?

Thx in advance!

please show the EXACT sequence of SQL statements to repeat this. Table
definitions and all.

I'm having an argument with an incumbent self-taught programmer that it is OK to use null foreign keys in database design. My take is the whole point of a foreign key is that it's not supposed to be optional, it's very definition is it's a necessary link to the parent table and part of the definition. If it's optional it shouldn't be part of the definition of a table and should be in a linking table instead. Comments?

We sometimes get very large databases that we want to cut down to use for testing. The information is all related to a central accounts table. The way I thought of doing this is to grab all the foreign constraints and turn them into cascade delete constraints, then delete as many accounts as I want. After this I will restore the constraints back to their original state.

I've got a problem which I think may be a bug in Postgres, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Two tables, A & B have foreign key relations to each other. A 3rd table C, inherits from A. A stored procedure updates a row in C, adds a row each in B & C. I get an integrity violation. All the foreign keys are deferrable, and the stored procedure is called from within a transaction with constraints deferred. (And the foreign keys do refer to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
